s6 edge bricked, cannot write anything through ODIN, Help please !!!

Hello all,

I purchased Samsung Galaxy s6 edge off of craigslist in attempt to repair this software issue.
It is verizon USA version model G925V
The phone powers up and Samsung screen comes up and it says Custom in the middle with an unlock sign which means that previous person tried to customize the software.
It keeps toggling between the same screen and wont boot up.
I am able to put it in download mode and recovery mode.
I have already wipes cache, have performed factory reset but no luck
I have tried to install original firmware via Odin but it says write failed after NAND Write in Odin.
Also tried to reflash the original PIT file but yet again it Odin says Failed.
Is there anything I can do with phone or it is completely gone?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

NFC Good for Anything?

So the fire phone supposedly has an NFC chip in there... is it good for anything? Does it work? With Amazon wallet gone, and no lollipop version... it seems we can't really use the NFC for anything?

no H+, H, E or anything showing when data is on

Data works fine, there's internet connection available but there's just no icon showing the status of my data connection, is there a fix for this ? I have the h815 on V10e-eur

Unable to flash anything below 5.0

Does anybody have any idea why I am unable to flash anything below 5.0 on my Nexus 7? I can flash any of the Google provided Lollipop images. However, when I flash any of the KitKat images, I get stuck on Google or red exclamation droid on his back. When entering recovery, there's all kinds of errors about being unable to mount partitions. Flash back any version of Lollipop, all is good. I want KitKat back on here! What gives?

LG G4 Vigor, is there anything here for this phone?

Hi, I searched all this forum and didn't find anything about the G4 Vigor. Maybe i'm just stupid?
I also like to know if the root method for the G4 can work for the G4 Vigor?

Thank you very much

Speed up my Xperia (anything helps)

So, my phone afaik, is relatively slow and mostly trashy.

BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING, I have NEVER NOR INTEND TO play games on it.

It has been generally slow since the day I got it. Tried upgrading to 4.3, didn't work, made it slower and hatred the keyboard. Not that the 4.1.2 keyboard is any better stability wise ( if my phone runs out of ram it'll kill the keyboard and take it down mid-typing for about 20 seconds, most often in chrome. Crashed 4 times as of the start of this sentence.).

Tried flashing cyanogen, I remember having something about a locked bootloader and no fastboot so I had to flash a special version for locked bootloaders, and it was CG v12, which I think is 4.4, far beyond the xperias capabilities afaik. It sure ran like it (all apps including launcher and homescreen would crash intermittently).

I remember trying nova launcher and go launcher on stock Rom. Heh. I got 5 fps navigating the home screen.

So time and time again I tried many things, and at last I'm coming to you guys for help. But also, let's start from scratch. Assuming I know nothing.
I have the stock android kernel, 4.1.2, rooted, with a root file explorer.

This post took 15 minutes to write. Halp.

No baseband- no IMEI not sure of anything at this point

I started with a fresh non altered I747m. The first thing I had to do was carrier unlock (PetroCAN sim) and then rooted the phone.
I pretty sure i did a cfroot and installed the newest pacman rom and all worked- just no internet ( the phone and texting worked) so I played with the APN for a while then decided to try a couple of MODEM zips (Rogers and AT&T) and flashed those in CWM.

Downhill fro there- No more SIM, no baseband- no IMEI no APN- could not even create an APN.

Tried diferent 511 ROMS (DU).
so then I did the even more stupid thing and retored the original NANDroid backup and now it is really bad- stuck on the samsung logo.

I did write down the IEMI number and I did check the baseband version (i did the check in like a dos screen on the phone) I747mluf0b1

What should I do now>?? i would be happy to return it all back to stock I really screwed this phone up bad

Stupid phone won't take anything!

My S4 Active is soft bricked. Had 5.0.1 on it and wanted to SIM unlock it but I can't find a guide to do it. So since everything points to 4.x, I wanted to downgrade the phone. Well apparently that doesn't work because now the piece of junk won't boot up again. I can put it in download mode, but the stupid phone won't take anything. Odin keeps failing to transfer files to it. I have tried many 4.x builds, but with no luck. The phone turns on and complains that it needs Kies to fix it. Says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Well I have tried that and even the stupid Kies software doesn't detect it. So how the heck do I fix this phone before I take a hammer to it?
